Who owns Glasgow Airport?

Glasgow Airport is owned by AGS Airports Limited.



Glasgow Airport is owned and operated by AGS Airports Limited, a partnership formed in 2014. AGS Airports is a joint venture between AviAlliance, one of the world's leading private industrial airport investors based in Germany, and Ferrovial, a major Spanish multinational infrastructure company. This ownership group also manages Aberdeen and Southampton airports, positioning them as a significant player in the UK's regional transport infrastructure. AviAlliance itself is owned by the Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments) of Canada, meaning that a significant portion of the airport's ultimate ownership is held by Canadian pension funds. In 2026, Glasgow Airport remains Scotland's principal long-haul gateway, serving over 20 airlines and nearly 100 destinations. The airport’s management focus under AGS has been on "sustainable aviation" and expanding direct international connectivity to North America and the Gulf, solidifying its role as a key component of the Scottish economy and a vital hub for both business and leisure travel.
